  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including all information that can initiate conversations when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Ok, this is probably a weird question. My husband thinks I’m the only person in the world who microwaves cheese before eating it.

I prefer room temperature or warm cheese - it just tastes so much better! So I will microwave a slice of cheese for like 5-10 seconds (depending on size) to make it all warm.

Am I the only freak who does this? I swear it tastes so much better this way…

No, I do not, and if I saw someone doing it, I would be unable to conceal my initial bafflement/mild horror, if I'm being perfectly honest.

That being said, let your hot cheese freak flag fly! I'm not gonna follow you, but I support your quest. I have no source for this, but my understanding is that temperature is like a volume kob for flavor (only up to a certain point, of course, though I'm not convinced lava isn't delicious). Therefore, what you're doing makes sense, even if it flies in the face of convention. You're a maverick.
